Being a Boilermaker, I have to bring up this inbounds play. In a close Purdue game a few years back, coach Keady called a play which must be the basketball equivelent to the baseball's old missing ball trick.
Team B is trailing late in the game and trying to catch up. With little time left, Team B scores and bring the game to within one posession. Team B calls time out following the bucket to organize their press of the inbounds. Team A (Purdue) is free to run the baseline following the made basket even following the time-out. A1 accepts the ball from the official. A2 leaves the playing area to the baseline on the other side of the basket from A1. A1 passes to A2 out of bounds. Team B is bewildered. A2 inbounds to A3 with little opposition from Team B. Coach B explodes when there is no call.
Do you think that warrnets a "T"?
